This paper sets more precisely an issue of semiotics of proverbs or idioms of the mother tongues that motivate learners of second language. Learners who use their native language have a fundamental comprehension of the meaning in the speakers' community due to psychological factors. As a result, the intuitive teaching methods, combined with the abilities to differentiate between social and cultural realities, has made education more effective. To put it another way, quotes or proverbs that make reference to anything whose semantics are explicitly part of popular awareness are cited. The interaction between socio-cultural concepts and traditions has a major impact on language learning, in which the primary goal is to improve communication skills. The learners are given a questionnaire to fill out in order to determine their sociolinguistic relationship and educational environment, as well as the metalinguistic communication that better suits their understanding skills.
